Contributions vs. Investment Growth
Monthly income estimate uses the 4% safe withdrawal rule — a widely accepted retirement planning guideline.
With excellent credit you're already paying minimal interest on debt, which maximizes the money available for retirement. Keep contributing consistently — compounding does the rest.
Starting earlier matters more than contributing more later. Money invested at 35 has 30 years to compound; money invested at 50 has only 15. Even small early contributions create outsized results at retirement.
The estimated monthly income shown uses the 4% safe withdrawal rate — a guideline suggesting you can withdraw 4% of your savings annually without depleting your nest egg over a 30-year retirement.
High-interest debt is the silent retirement killer. Every extra dollar paid in loan interest is a dollar that can't compound in your retirement account. Improving your credit score or consolidating debt directly increases the money available to invest.
Max out tax-advantaged accounts first: 401(k) up to $23,000/year ($30,500 if 50+), IRA up to $7,000/year ($8,000 if 50+). Employer 401(k) matches are free money — always contribute at least enough to capture the full match.
